Damage reports from the fire are 'definitely subject to change,' since assessors can't access some of the scorched areas to evaluate how much was destroyed, fire spokesman Edwin Zuniga said.
The Dixie Fire, the largest single wildfire in California's history, is threatening more than 14,000 structures in mountain and rural communities in the northern Sierra Nevada as it continues to scorch the state, the Associated Press reported.
Some stretches of clear skies over the fire this week made it possible for aircrafts to join the nearly 6,000 firefighters battling the blaze. Temperatures are expected to rise and the humidity is expected to fall over the next few days, with triple-digit high temperatures possible later in the week along with a return of strong afternoon winds, fire meteorologist Rich Thompson warned Monday evening.
California's raging wildfires are among some 100 large blazes burning across 15 states, mostly in the West, where historic drought conditions have left lands parched and ripe for ignition.
